Flush trim template router bits work in your router table or handheld router. Secure your template to the top face of the work for handheld operations, or to the bottom face of the work when using a router table. It's helpful to have at least a couple of flush trim bits in different sizes in your router bit collection. 1/4" and 1/2" diameters make a good combination.

This set includes 3 template trim router bits of 1/4", 1/2" & 3/4" cutting lengths. All 3 bits are 5/8" diameter and 1/4" shank.

This bit cuts great rabbits

I just want to mention that this bit is only 2-1/2” end to end, so if you’re intending to use it with a Porter-Cable style guide bushing in a mortise routing jig, you’re never going to get the full one-inch (1”) depth of cut. The collet will hit the retaining ring of the guide bushing at about 3/4 ” plunge depth. The P-C guide bushing is roughly 1/2” deep, the retaining ring is about 1/4”, the router base is 1/4” thick, and you need at least 1/2” inside the collet to safely use the bit. You get sparks from the metal-on-metal contact from the router collet hitting the retaining ring of the bushing before you get to a full one-inch plunge depth. This bit should have been at least half an inch longer (i.e. 3” long) to be usable in this configuration. The bit itself cuts fine if you’re using it some other way. Other manufacturers’ bits are 3” long and do not present a similar problem.
